We really need Texas A&M to step up and take the wind out of their sails, but if there's anything that's been proven over the past few years, it's that the week before the Egg Bowl really has no real bearing on the Egg Bowl itself. Momentum, or lack of it, never seems to carry over.
While we should win, it will be a scrap. Matt Luke hates State as much as he loves OM.

With this NCAA stuff, and Luke foaming at the mouth, they will come in with their hair on fire and take every gamble and trick play they know. They will put 8 at the line and sell out on D, hoping to make us throw and when they do gambling on getting to Fitz.

What do they have to lose? We will have to match their intensity early, not let a couple of quick scores early by them snowball and we should be ok.

Don't throw it around and don't run wide. Hit em right in the mouth and take their punchers chance out of it.
